Applied Sound Practice with Individuals and Groups

12-Month Diploma Pathway
Monthly Payment Plans Available

October 2026 Intake

Prerequisite: Level 1 Sound for Wellbeing

Includes specialist training in Sound Bath Practice and Group Sound Facilitation.

The Level 3 Sound and Wellbeing Practitioner Diploma builds upon the listening-led foundations established through Level 1 Sound for Wellbeing and supports practitioners wishing to deepen their professional sound practice.

The diploma explores the application of sound within both individual and group settings, supporting the development of awareness, practical skill, confidence, and professional responsibility.

Rather than focusing solely on performance or fixed techniques, the emphasis is placed on listening, observation, participant experience, and responsive practice within real-world contexts.

Overview

The Level 3 Sound and Wellbeing Practitioner Diploma supports the development of applied sound practice with individuals and groups.

Participants explore how sound may be offered within professional settings through a listening-led and reflective approach, grounded in awareness, context, ethics, and participant experience.

The diploma recognises that sound may be applied in different ways depending on the practitioner, setting, and population being supported. Throughout the programme, participants develop the confidence to make informed and responsive decisions within an appropriate scope of practice.

Embodied Sound Practice

Embodied Sound Practice provides the practitioner foundation of the diploma.

The emphasis is on listening, observation, relational awareness, and understanding how sound is experienced and responded to within real situations.

Learning is grounded in reflective practice, lived experience, and developing sensitivity to context rather than following fixed techniques or prescriptive methods.

Participants are encouraged to explore how sound may influence experience, response, interaction, and wellbeing across a variety of professional contexts.

Sound Bath Practice and Group Sound Facilitation

This area of practice explores the facilitation of group sound experiences, including those commonly referred to as sound baths.

Participants develop an understanding of how to structure, facilitate, and reflect upon group sound sessions with consideration for participant wellbeing, safety, ethical practice, pacing, group dynamics, and professional responsibility.

Attention is given to the practical application of sound within group settings while recognising that participant experiences may vary considerably.

Individual Sound Practice

This area of practice explores listening-led one-to-one sound work within professional settings.

The emphasis is on individual response, collaborative practice, professional boundaries, and adapting sound practice to the needs, experience, and context of the individual.

Participants explore how sound may be applied within one-to-one sessions in a responsive, reflective, and professionally appropriate manner.

Developing Your Practice

While all participants develop a shared foundation in applied and responsive sound practice, practitioners may naturally find themselves drawn towards particular areas of application over time.

Some may choose to focus primarily on group sound facilitation, others on individual sound practice, while many develop a combination of both within their professional setting.

The diploma is designed to support professional judgement, responsiveness, confidence, and ongoing development rather than prescribing a single way of working.

Who This Diploma Is For

This diploma is suited to those who:

• Wish to deepen their understanding and application of sound within professional practice
• Are interested in facilitating sound-based experiences with individuals and groups
• Value listening, reflection, awareness, and responsiveness in their work
• Are willing to engage in an experiential and applied learning process
• Wish to develop confidence, clarity, and professional responsibility in how sound is offered

This diploma may be undertaken alongside an existing professional role or area of practice, or as a pathway towards developing sound practice as a primary area of work.

No prior musical experience is required.

Professional Scope

This diploma supports practitioners to develop and offer sound-based practice with individuals and groups within an appropriate and clearly defined scope.

Whether sound practice forms part of an existing profession or becomes a practitioner's primary area of practice, participants are encouraged to work responsibly, maintain appropriate insurance, and continue developing their knowledge and experience over time.

The diploma promotes listening-led, reflective, and ethically grounded practice, supporting practitioners to work with awareness of context, participant experience, professional responsibility, and the limits of their training and competence.

It does not provide training in clinical, medical, or regulated therapeutic intervention.
